Walk Through The World Differently

October 19, 1989, 5:04 PM in San Francisco. When the Loma Prieta earthquake rumbled, Dan was on the 32nd floor of a swaying high rise. Of course the phones went dead, so he couldn’t call to make sure his daughter was safe. The elevators didn’t work, so when the swaying building stood straight once again, he hiked down the stairwell to his car. Out on the street, the stoplights were not functioning—whereupon he witnessed a rather amazing thing. People were not jamming the intersections with panic. Even though many were probably going home to make sure everybody was safe and to see what the damage was, the drivers were politely and courteously taking their turn, waiting, stopping, going; waiting, stopping, going. Nobody was cutting through. Nobody was leaning on their horn. At every intersection, it was as if everybody knew there was a crisis at hand, and they behaved very differently from an ordinary weekday after work.
 
We as Christians walk through the world differently. We know we are living in the End Times when our Master could return at any time. We are living, as if in anticipation of the next quake that will shake the foundations of our lives. Soon, we will hear the trumpet call of call of God announcing the end of the world and the beginning of eternity. In anticipation of that great day, we walk through the world differently.


You and your teenagers are invited to a very relevant and timely Bible study this November and December. In the Christian Church Year we are celebrating the seasons of End Times and Advent, when we remember that our Lord Jesus could come back at any time.
We begin this new Bible study on “End Times: Jesus is Coming Soon” on Sunday, November 17 at 9:15 am in Epiphany’s church basement.
These are the topics for the upcoming weeks.
·         God’s Word on the Future: Jesus Is Coming!
·         The Unknown Day and Hour of Jesus’ Return
·         While We Wait for Jesus’ Return
·         The Events of Judgment Day
·         The Judgment
·         Millennialism
·         Dispensationalism
·         The Present Life in Light of Jesus’ Future Coming

Max Lucado - False Doctrine

I love the way author Max Lucado writes. He is a great storyteller and a fantastic wordsmith. I have a number of Lucado's books on my shelves and receive his daily paragraph devotions. However, as popular as he is, as many books as he has sold, as many lives as he has touched with the Gospel, he still proclaims false doctrine. I still remember being told at the Seminary that you can generally tell a pastor's theology based on the kind of books he has on his shelves. Though our WELS pastors may have a few books by Lucado, Covey or even some fiction by Peretti, they had better have the majority of their books be sound, Lutheran, biblical doctrine. Martin Luther, The People's Bible commentaries, The Book of Concord, People's Bible Teachings, C.F.W. Walther, Francis Pieper, Werner Franzmann, etc. I mention this because of the devotion I received via email from Max Lucado on Friday, June 12 entitled "Saved by Faith." In the devotion he calls communion and bapti...

Jesus has prepared a place for you - A funeral sermon for Jim Hermann

John 14:1-4 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.  2  My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.  4  You know the way to the place where I am going.” “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” Did you catch the difference between what I read just now and what I read in the Gospel lesson? The Gospel lesson was from the NIV. The second verse I read was from the King James Version. If you’re older than 50, that’s the version of the Bible that you heard in church and learned in catechism class. But, even if you’re older younger than 50, you know about the mansions. “The mansions of heaven” is a term Christians use pretty...

Water into blood and water into wine

Image
Here are some thoughts that didn’t make it into Sunday’s sermon. The Old Testament lesson for the 2nd Sunday after Epiphany is the account of Moses turning the water of the Nile River into blood. The first of the ten plagues God used to get the Israelites out of Egypt. Exodus 7:14-24 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Pharaoh's heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go. 15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning as he goes out to the water. Wait on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that was changed into a snake. 16 Then say to him, 'The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to say to you: Let my people go, so that they may worship me in the desert. But until now you have not listened. 17 This is what the LORD says: By this you will know that I am the LORD: With the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will be changed into blood. 18 The fish in the Nile will die, and the river will stink; the Egyptians will not ...
